Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr In the dark forest closest to the battlefield, a team of four scout students was carefully moving through the forest, trying to circle around the forest and pass through the entire battlefield...
They could clearly hear the roar of cannon fodder not too far away, as well as feel the violent tremors of mecha being destroyed high up in the air. Every time, it made them tremble with fear, afraid that some cannon fire or mecha would come crashing down on them.
"Can you guys still hold on?" Zilong abruptly wiped the sweat off his forehead and turned to ask his teammates behind him.
"Don't worry about us. The most important thing now is not to go in the wrong direction." Han Jijun frowned as he continued to compare their coordinates. He found that due to the expansion of the battle, they were getting closer and closer to the area where the F-class savage beasts were active. Even without Ling Lan's warning, they could feel the chill in their bones — the situation was getting worse.
The few of them once again cautiously walked forward for a while. At this time, Qi Long, who was walking in front, waved his hand abruptly. The few people behind him quickly hid behind bushes or tree trunks, the beam pistols in their hands ready. As long as they discovered an F-class savage beast, they would pull the trigger without hesitation, striving to strike first and gain the upper hand.
Zilong half-crouched alone on the ground, his beam gun aimed at the area in front of him where he had noticed the disturbance. The sweat on his forehead slid down his face — he did not dare to be distracted. An F-class savage beast was equivalent to a human in the Refinement realm — it was not something he, who was only half a step into the Refinement realm, could hope to fight against. He had already thought it through — if it really appeared, even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would still create time for his teammates behind him to escape.
"Zilong?" A low voice came from behind the disturbance in the bushes.
"Wu Jiong, it's you." Zilong instantly relaxed, almost collapsing to the ground. He had really been too nervous just now.
Hearing the two's conversation, the hiding Han Jijun and Luo Lang were just about to come out when they saw Han Jijun make a cautious gesture from behind Zilong. Instantly, the two hiding men tensed up again, gripping the guns in their hands tightly. Wu Jiong finally crawled out from the bushes.
Wu Jiong finally crawled out of the bushes. His protective suit was slightly damaged, and there was an unstitched wound on his cheek. After Wu Jiong came out, his teammates Ye Xu, Qin Yi, and the others also came out from various corners. One of them was even supported by Qin Yi. The group was in a similar state as Wu Jiong.
When Wu Jiong saw that Zilong was alone, his expression changed slightly. "Where are your teammates? And where is Ling Lan? "
Zilong replied, "They're here." He waved behind him, and Han Jijun and the others walked out.
Then, Zilong said, "Boss Lan is at the temporary base. There are only the four of us here. "He pointed at Wu Jiong and asked," How did you guys end up in such a sorry state? "
Wu Jiong spat gloomily, "Ptui, our luck is really too f * * king bad. A cannon went off not too far away from where we were hiding. Luckily, we were hiding behind a thousand-year-old tree, which blocked most of the explosive force. But even so, Chen Yu, who was closest to the cannon, was heavily injured. Luckily, we brought enough emergency medical agents, otherwise Chen Yu might have been in danger. Now, at least he's still alive. "
Chen Yu was a Class-A student who had joined Wu Jiong's team at the last minute during this hunt. His grades had always been average in the class, and he was usually very quiet. He was a student who was easily overlooked, but for some reason, Wu Jiong had chosen him at first sight …
"Do you have enough medical agents? We still have some here. " Zilong asked with concern. Hearing Zilong say this, Han Jijun hurriedly took off his backpack and prepared to take out the emergency medical agents.
"Thank you, but we don't need them now. Chen Yu's injuries are already under control, but if he wants to recover as soon as possible, he needs to return to the base immediately and recuperate in the recovery pod." Wu Jiong declined Zilong's kind offer, but his expression did not improve. Right now, they needed to cross the battlefield and return to the base as soon as possible to let Chen Yu recover. Otherwise, if this dragged on for too long, Chen Yu's injuries would change, and even if he recovered in the future, there might still be residual effects.
But how to cross the battlefield was a big problem. At this time, he especially hated his own helplessness.
He raised his head to look at Zilong and said, "We're preparing to return to the base and treat Chen Yu as soon as possible. What do you guys think?"
"We're also planning to do the same." Zilong replied, "Boss just contacted us, saying that the feral beasts here are about to go berserk. The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it will be."
"It's impossible to cross the battlefield. The two sides are fighting too fiercely. Artillery fire is flying everywhere, and no one knows whether the artillery fire will hit us or not," said Wu Jiong.
"Not only that, if the enemy finds us, they will not hesitate to fire a light projectile at us. They've always been keen on getting rid of us so-called excellent seedlings to begin with," added Han Jijun self-deprecatingly.
"Mm, so we're going to follow the dense forest and go around the battlefield from here." Zilong told Wu Jiong about their original plan.
"My thoughts are the same." Wu Jiong also had the same plan.
"But it's also very dangerous. We're practically brushing against the F-class feral beasts' territory. If we run into an F-class feral beast, what awaits us is a team wipe," reminded Han Jijun.
"F * ck, staying here isn't a solution either. Might as well take a gamble," said Ye Xu, a little sullenly.
"That's right!" Echoed the others. They were all genius students of the Central Scout Academy, proud sons and daughters of the heavens. Since young, they had been taught to face difficulties head-on and create opportunities — none of them were the type to resign themselves to death.
The two teams came to an agreement. Luo Lang and Lin Zhong-qing even helped Ye Xu, Qin Yi, and the others carry their backpacks so that they could take better care of Chen Yu. This cooperation allowed the two teams to move a little faster.
Right then, Zilong suddenly signaled for everyone to stop. Under Wu Jiong's suspicious gaze, Zilong excitedly took out his communicator and said, "Boss, how did you contact us?"
Not long after the start of the battle, the communicator had lost its communication function. Zilong and the others knew very well that this was due to the battle. The camp's command tower was afraid that the enemy would decipher the signal, so they had cut off the satellite signal. But who would have thought that under these circumstances, Ling Lan would still be able to contact them? This was absolutely amazing.
And so, in Zilong's heart, Boss Ling's image of Big Lan became even higher.
Hearing Zilong's question, Ling Lan knew full well that this was all thanks to Little Four. However, Ling Lan did not explain, simply asking Zilong and the others for their current coordinates. Then, she told Zilong that she was on her way, and that if there was no danger, he should try to stay where he was and not go too far.
After hanging up, Zilong's face once again flashed his signature grin, adding a hint of silliness to it. However, everyone present knew that this was just Zilong's disguise — when this guy should be smart, he was never silliness.
"Good news?" asked Wu Jiong, seeing that Zilong's mood had improved greatly after the call had been connected.
"Yes, my boss. He's on his way," said Zilong proudly. Hehe, it felt so good to have a boss. Even if the sky fell, there would be someone to hold it up for him.
"It's too dangerous. What can he do even if he's here?" Han Jijun's first reaction was to object. He felt that Ling Lan had definitely gone crazy. He felt that this was not something Ling Lan should do. This was definitely not the choice of a rational boss. However, it was undeniable that a warm feeling spread from the depths of his heart. His originally exhausted energy was instantly reinvigorated.
"When brothers are of one heart, their sharpness can cut through metal! With Boss leading us, I have nothing to be afraid of … Also, Boss said that he has already reached the G-class area and is on his way here. " Zilong didn't think as much as Han Jijun. He only felt that with everyone together, even if it was a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, he would still dare to charge in.
"That's great. Since Boss is coming, then let's wait here," said Luo Lang similarly excitedly. At the same time, he also knew that Han Jijun and Lin Zhong-qing's stamina had been greatly depleted during this forced march. They just wanted to rush back as quickly as possible. With danger by their side, they didn't dare to rest.
Zilong looked at Wu Jiong. Wu Jiong looked at the tired faces of his team members and felt that they indeed needed to rest. Thus, he nodded and said, "Let's rest first."
The two teams found a relatively secluded place. Zilong and Wu Jiong stood guard at both ends, while the others sat in the middle. They all took out their hardtack biscuits and nutrient packs to eat.
Very quickly, they finished eating and rested for a while. If it weren't for the sound of mecha cannon fire in the distance, they would have thought that this battle was just a nightmare.
"Not good! Hide! "Almost at the same time, Wu Jiong and Zilong's shouts rang out.
The members of the two teams reacted quickly. They all threw down the food in their hands and jumped into whatever cover they could find.
Right then, a blue and white mecha descended from the sky, smashing heavily into the forest about a hundred metres away from them. A huge crater was instantly formed, trees and branches falling, creating a mess.
Following closely behind were three powerful beams of light, accurately hitting the cockpit of the mecha. The cockpit was instantly swallowed up by the light and melted away, turning into a hole.
"Seeking death!" The three black Twilight mecha circling in the air put down their beam cannons in unison, and one of the mecha operators could not help but curse smugly.
Speaking of which, this Federation mecha that had been destroyed was really unlucky. After defeating one mecha, he had wanted to return to replenish his ammunition, but he had unexpectedly run into the three-man mecha team of the Twilight Empire. Although he had tried his best to escape, he had still not been able to avoid the combined attack of the three, and had been killed by the opponent.
"Stop dawdling. Our brave warriors are fighting bravely. We need to find the enemy's command centre as soon as possible and execute Operation Decapitation. The sooner we finish, the more our brave warriors can live." The other mecha seemed to be the leader of the three-man team. At his words, the other two mecha immediately replied respectfully, "Hai Yi!"
Just as the three of them were about to leave, one of the mecha pulled the screen far away and seemed to catch a glimpse of something. "Eh? Where is that? "
"Kotoi-kun? What did you find? "The leader was startled by his subordinate's bewildered voice and quickly asked about the situation.
"Hehe, nothing. I just found a few fun little mice." The mecha operator called Kotoi-kun suddenly let out a burst of laughter, a little excited and a little perverted.
